How to Recover Deleted iMessages on iPad

iMessages are a text-based method of communication similar to traditional text messages. But where SMS texts run from your network service provider, iMessages operate via secure internet connection and provide the added benefit of instant send-and-receive times, as well as the ability to use on an iPad device.

And due to the overall simplicity of iMessaging – whether it involves text or multimedia files – users can find themselves quickly engrossed and storing large banks of conversations in which important information can lie. Which begs the question: what happens if this information is accidentally deleted? Or worse, if your iPad is lost, stolen or damaged to the extent that it’s no longer accessible? The thought of your conversation histories (or even important isolated messages) being gone forever, can be very distressing.

It’s for this reason that Apple actively encourage their follows to regularly back up their iPads to their iTunes service. Quite often, the data store in the device is more valuable than the iPad itself. And Enigma Recovery, with its ability to recover data directly from your iPad, can also scan your most recent iTunes backup and retrieve content without requiring the presence of your device.

To see how the software works and a step-by-step breakdown of instructions, please read the below.

You Will Need:

1. A laptop or computer
2. Latest version of iTunes installed
3. To have a previous iTunes backup
4. A free or full version of Enigma Recovery installed

In a bid to keep up with the new instant-messaging style of sending text communications, Apple introduced iMessages in 2011. Working seamlessly with normal SMS text messaging, it paved the way for sending texts, documents and multimedia files across an internet connection as opposed to a mobile network. And providing you were connected to Wi-Fi, it also meant that your messages were sent for free across a number of other iOS devices, including an iPad.

This shift in user habits – in particular the type of content sent – has made the information stored in iMessage conversations very important. Be it the written messages themselves or the numerous photos and videos shared, the thought of unexpectedly losing such data can be quite alarming. And one of the most common forms of data loss is the misplacement or theft of your iPad. Recovering iMessages in such instances is extremely difficult as the tablet is not accessible.

To help counter this problem, Apple actively encourage their followers to use their iCloud backup service – where, through a simple Wi-Fi connection, you’re able to mirror the contents of your iPad to a cloud storage. And with use of Enigma Recovery – a dedicated piece of software that rescues missing data – you’re able to recover missing data directly from an iCloud backup without the presence of your iPad device.

The latter mode of text communication is slowly being ushered into near redundancy, as the new instant-messaging method of texting allows users to send and receive more dynamic forms of messages – photos, videos, audio and so on. iMessages also have the additional benefit of functioning via an internet connection; thus avoiding any network charges the mobile phone carrier imposes. This becomes especially useful when abroad, as a Wi-Fi connection allows for free messaging.

Apple also allow users to sync iMessages with other iOS devices – such as the iPad – so that your conversations are easily accessible wherever you may be.
